Hello,
52,000 miles on a boxster S. I changed the belt with a OEM belt at 50,000.
This just started.....
On cold startup, there is a loud squeal (like a belt slipping). It only lasts a second, and then does not come back until The car is restarted after sitting for hours.
Everything else is good, no other issues.
I looked in past messages, and found that someone noted that the starter pulley may be going out. They said that the pulley may be slow in unlocking causing the belt to rub and squeal.

Any ideas?

James
